Preconfiguring A Line Card - Cisco 10000 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 5 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 Line Card Configuration

Preconfiguring a Line Card

Using the card command you can preconfigure a router chassis slot for a specific line card and operating
mode in the absence of such a line card in that slot. After you have preconfigured a router chassis slot
for a 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 line card and E1 or T1 operation, when you install a 24-Port
Channelized E1/T1 line card into the preconfigured slot, that line card is ready to operate in the
preconfigured mode.
When you install a 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 line card in the router chassis slot you have
preconfigured, a power-on self test (POST) should immediately take place and the line card should then
be ready for operation.
You use the card command in the global configuration mode to preprovision any Cisco 10000 series
router chassis slot for line card E1 or T1 operation when no line card is available, or to change modes
for a line card that is already installed:
Router(config)# [no] card slot/subslot 24che1t1-1 [mode {e1 | t1}]
Router(config)#

The following examples show how to use the card command to simulate the line card controller E1 mode
and E1 operation:

24che1t1-1 is the Cisco E1/T1 line-card Cisco product reference, which you select from a list of
optional product references for any line card you can install and configure in a Cisco series 10000
router chassis.
The -1 number specifies the current 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 line card revision and may
Note
change.
mode e1 configures all the line card ports for the E1 framing format.
mode t1 configures the line card ports for the T1 framing format.
Example 1: In the following example, you configure router chassis slot 3 for E1 operation and use
the hw-module and card commands to simulate a 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 line card installation:
Router> enable
Password: (you enter your administrative password)
Router# hw-module slot 3 reset
Router# config terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTRL/Z.
Router(config)# card 3/0 24che1t1-1 mode e1
Router(config)#
Example 2: In the following example, you configure router chassis slot 3 for the T1 operation and
use the hw-module and card commands to simulate a 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 line card
installation:
Router> enable
Password: (you enter your administrative password)
Router# hw-module slot 3 reset
Router# config terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTRL/Z.
Router(config)# card 3/0 24che1t1-1 mode t1
Router(config)#
